Chapter 98

Arabella shot a casual glance at Dean and said, “Dean, call the cops.”

Hearing this, Linda immediately went as pale as a sheet. She was all high and mighty just now. But in

front of Arabella, she was helpless, clutching the table and begging for mercy.

‘No, please.” Linda’s voice was shaking, “Ms. Bennett, we can sit down and talk this out.”

“I was originally planning to let you off the hook, but you just had to pick a fight with me.” Arabella said.

Arabella raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat helpless, “I wasn’t planning on making you pay for the

company’s loss, or making you go to jail. But you insisted on reporting this to the headquarters, blowing

things out of proportion.”

Linda was so regretful she could kick herself, “Ms. Bennett, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have tampered

with the attendance record, scamming my monthly salary and perfect attendance! I shouldn’t have

gone against my conscience to accept the company’s annual reward. I was wrong! I really was wrong!

Can I apologize to you?”

“Is this the only thing you did wrong?” Arabella’s gaze fell on her, filled with intensity.

“Wha what else…” Linda’s tears were welling up in her eyes. And in her panic, she couldn’t think of

anything else that gave Ms. Bennett leverage.

Linda seemed to realize something, but she wasn’t sure. She asked timidly, “What is it?”

“It’s the complaint letters from the people who left the company this past year! There are a total of

sixty–three letters complaining about you.” Arabella

said.

Linda was stunned, so were the colleagues outside. That many?

Clearly, Linda had been bullying quite a few people.

“You abused your power, covered for your colleagues who did wrong with you. And those upright

people who refused to cooperate with you were all forced out by you! The company can’t retain talents,

and it’s all because of you!” Arabella said.

“Ms. Bennett, let me explain, those people didn’t follow the company’s rules.” Linda said.

Before Linda could finish, Arabella’s gaze turned colder, “At this point, you still want to frame them?”

She really wouldn’t repent until her deathbed!

“Ms. Bennett, I’m sorry! Please give me another chance!” Linda begged, “Those people that I forced

out, I’ll personally go and apologize to each of them!” Seeing that Arabella wasn’t responding, Linda

added in a choked voice, “The twelve months of salary and bonus that the company gave me, I’ll return

it all within three days! Please don’t call the police! If you do, I’m finished! My life will be ruined!”

Arabella looked her in the eye, and said word for word, “When you forced them out, did you ever

consider that their lives might also be ruined by you?” “Ms. Bennett.” Linda said.

“When you slandered them, did you ever consider their feelings?” Arabella said.

Arabella stared coldly at the woman in front of her, “I also saw in the complaint letters that you

threatened your colleagues with their personal matters, and some of them even transferred money to

you to settle the matter. The amount wasn’t small. If you’re charged with all of these, you’ll at least

serve two years in prison.”

“Ms. Bennett.” Linda was terrified, tears streaming down her face, “I made a mistake! I’m sorry.”

“It’s too late for regrets now.” Arabella said.

Dean had already called the police, and a few officers had arrived. They asked about the situation and

were ready to take Linda away.

“Ms. Bennett, please have mercy, say something.” Linda didn’t want to be arrested, and she pinned all

her hopes on Arabella, crying out without any sense of self–respect, “Please give me another chance. I

promise I’ll mend my ways, start afresh!”

“I already gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it.” Arabella said.

“Ms. Bennett.” Linda said.

As Linda was led away by the police, the people outside were all whispering about it.

“I can’t believe Director Linda is like this.”

“She’s even accepting bribes on the side.”

People are just so unpredictable.”
